    The Arty Lee School is an important part of the Dante community’s African American history. This final concept proposes an adaptive reuse of the eastern most footprint of the original building. The design turns this historical school into a multi-use learning hub for the community and regional visitors. Entrepreneurs, college groups, and nature enthusiasts alike will have the resources to work, learn, and host events in the new Arty Lee Center.

    This project was the third community planning project organized as Dante works to revitalize its community and downtown region. This third phase of work focused on the redevelopment of the Dante Depot. Using community feedback, the CDAC team proposed to redevelop the Dante Depot into a general store with a self-serve catering kitchen provides a local destination for visitors and the Dante community. Customers can experience the welcoming, historic atmosphere of the Depot while enjoying a cup of coffee or shopping in the general store, which offers local goods and crafts from the surrounding community.
